England's Jofra Archer was axed from the playing XI for the second Test due to an unauthorized trip home after the West Indies win in the first Test at Southampton. He breached the bio-security protocol and had to get two negative coronavirus tests before inclusion in the final Test.

The England vs West Indies three-match Test series is at a very interesting stage with one win to each team. Although England went on to win the second Test, Archer's omission could have created a problem for them.

Former Pakistan cricketer Salman Butt slammed Archer for breaching the protocol. He said Archer should have been more aware of the rules as his team was in a must-win situation.

Social media saw the funny side of his comment and they believe Butt isn't the right man to comment on Archer's mistake as he himself was banned for spot-fixing in 2010 at Lord's.
